      Campist would probably be a better term - since ‘tankie’ implies there is at least an ideological commitment there.

      Campism would group in the folks whose positions are entirely centered around much more nebulous and ideological fluid positions or around a ‘syncretic’ ‘blend’ that usually just ends up being traditionalism that orients itself as ‘anti-western’ only in-so-far as to oppose social progress. Like people who ‘critically support’ anti-communist movements as long as they are anti-western or globalist capitalist movements as long as they are sufficiently socially conservative.
